The only reason that he seemed like a "Genius CEO" with SpaceX and Tesla was because those companies had layers of management dedicated to protecting the company from Musk.

If Musk marched into Tesla and decided that all Tesla cars should have eyeball shaped headlights, managers would tell him what a genius idea that was and that they'd get right on it. Then, they'd distract him with something else while the idea went in the trash can.

Twitter has no such management layer so every Elon Epiphany becomes Twitter policy no matter how bad or destructive it is. SpaceX and Tesla were successes despite Musk and Musk gained his "genius" reputation because those companies were able to filter out his idiocy.

 

In a characteristically rambling post on Truth Social, Mr Trump said that the indictment ‘hoax’ was the fault of misfits – and mutants

That confused me too. Is Trump trying to pretend he's a progessive now? "You can't arrest 'MAGA Trump' because I'm 'Progressive Trump' now. I'm a totally different person!"

So his defense is to just say "not guilty - I didn't do anything wrong"? I mean, that's a perfectly valid plea to start with (as opposed to "guilty - I totally did that stuff"), but it's not a legal defense. If all his lawyers can muster during the trial is "our client says that he didn't do this and it's all a witch hunt" then he'll be going to prison for a long time.

If using glyph magic does drain King, then it likely wouldn't be as big of an issue when he gets bigger. His magic reservoir would likely increase to such a huge amount that Luz could activate dozens of glyphs without a single yawn from King.
